The St. Louis Rams exceeded expectations last year and were in contention to earn a playoff spot until the closing weeks of the regular season. They went 2-1-1 against division rivals Seattle and San Francisco and won four of their final six games to end the year.

The Rams clearly appear to be a team on the rise. Can the additions of Tavon Austin and Jared Cook to the offense help Sam Bradford take a step forward into the playoffs in his fourth season?

Seahawk fan here. It’s great to see the Rams back and competitive again. I always preferred the Rams-Seahawks rivalry to the 49ers rivalry. They really gave us something to hate – with Isaac Bruce putting his helmet on our field, and beating us at home in the 2004 playoffs.

Anyway, it’s great to see the Rams back, and I’m going to call it now:

Rams will take the wildcard spot and knock the 49ers out of the playoffs.

St. Louis will never go anywhere as long as Sam “Badd for Rams” Bradford is at the helm, guaranteed. He was always an overrated noodle armed turd playing in a cartoon offense on a loaded team at Jokelahoma.

middle of the pack sounds about right for a team coached by Coacho-Ocho-y-Ocho (Fisher)…

The Rams might be the surprise team in the NFC. They proved they can play with the powerhouses like Seattle,San Fran, and Green Bay. The problem is they lose the games that on paper they should win. I do agree Bradford should have no excuses to get his numbers a lot higher (4,000 yards, 30td’s)

What a awesome and creative nickname. But the Seahawks will never win with with Russell “Not Good for Seattle” Wilson at QB.
